On to the picks

Newark at Marion Harding

Hard to see the Prexies losing this one as they should be on an emotional high after dedicating the new surface. Pick: Harding.

Highland at River Valley

If Highland holds on and wins this game a year ago, it gets into the playoffs. Instead, RV won in the final seconds and because of it eventually earned a playoff spot. Yeah, Week 3 counts and in a big way. Pick: RV.

Bucyrus at Pleasant

Better question is will the Redmen score? Pick: Pleasant.

Mount Gilead at Elgin

It won't be like the first two weeks, but the Comets still appear to be the real deal. Pick: Elgin.

Waynesfield-Goshen at Ridgedale

Last week was a stretch for the Rockets, but this one is reasonable for the rebuilding program. Pick: W-G.

North Union at Grandview Heights

This is always a good ballgame. Heights is 2-0, but its two wins are to winless Columbus City League squads. Look for the Wildcats' defense to continue to shine. Pick: North Union.

Mount Vernon at Buckeye Valley

Mount Vernon bounced back from a deflating opening week loss to Harding. This is a good measuring stick for the Barons. Pick: BV.

Cardington at Ontario

Cardington got rolled by Galion in Week 2. Now the Pirates have to play an angry squad at Ontario after it suffered a one-TD loss to Highland. Pick: Ontario.

Northmor at Lucas

Northmor has already doubled last year's win total, and that's awesome. But this is the game that will gauge what kind of team and season the Knights can expect because Lucas is for real in north central Ohio small school football. Pick: Lucas.

Last Week: 9-2. Season: 15-6.
